Biography

From Skies Of Fire has one simple philosophy; to provide a great live experience, and to hook listeners with catchy and accessible rock music. After being together for 3 years, this outlook has created waves amongst the St. Louis local scene, and the band continues to spread the word by playing shows across the entire state of Missouri; and there are no intentions of stopping there.

FSOF consists of "Dirty" Rob Conyers on guitar, Jake "Obbey" Woodworth also on guitar and backing vocals, Sam "Boots" Krug on drums, Scott Conyers on bass, and lead vocalist Jon Berg. This solidified lineup has opened for national bands such as Street Sweeper Social Club, Psychostick, and Greek Fire. FSOF have also played sold out shows with local heavyweights Brookroyal and Killer Me Killer You. The band has currently played 3 of the last 4 Pointfests, which is one of the largest festivals St. Louis has to offer, playing with the likes of many bands from Cake and Bush, to Coheed and Cambria and Papa Roach amongst many others.

The band recorded their first E.P. throughout 2010, and was officially released in June 2011. The "No Coast" E.P. is a great reflection of the hard work and dedication that went into the recording sessions. The title of the E.P. is a nod to the landlocked St. Louis area, and is also a statement; FSOF will continue to keep spreading the word and taking the stage anywhere possible to do what they love. Included on this recording are fan favorites such as "Under the Gun", "Lost and Never Found", and the 105.7 the Point local show staple "Into the Blue" (formerly known as The Shame).

From Skies of Fire's simple philosophy will continue to be enforced throughout the rest of 2011, with a return trip booked in Springfield, MO, and a free show at the University of Rolla. With no intentions of slowing down, there is nothing but excitement and curiosity as to what big things the year 2012 will hold.

Lyrics

Broken Glass And Empty Walls

I am thinking out loudOver and over, for you to not hearMy wall has space for rentSince all of your pictures are gone...

Pre Chorus: I long for you... Open the doorI want you to... sing me to sleepBut I'm on to you... I cannot winHow I want to... Take this one home

Chorus: I'm not, holding on a thread this timeOpen your eyes to meI'm not, bleeding out my heart this timeJust open your eyes up to me

We are in different worldsLight years away, on a different planeI just want sympathySince all of your pictures are gone.

Lost And Never Found

Written By: Jon Berg

I said I loved you but you laughed at meHow could you do that to me honestly? So...

Throw me into the fire, and walk away forever.You weren't what I desire, or anything at all...

But I'm still laying on the ground, just fumbling aroundLife is just a repeat, passing me byWhile I'm laying on the ground, I'm not making a soundLet's mute the repetition... I'm always lost and never found

I wish I could delete these thoughts of youBut when I'm like this I just come unglued... So...

Two Wrongs Make A Fight

Written By: Jon Berg

You were so lost of hope, but gave me reason to trustI'd go down kicking, screaming out your nameI didn't want a war, I didn't want you to leaveI couldn't give you reason enough to stay

I was wrong, but you were tooThis end result, isn't worth what you put me through

You better watch your words, with your intention to bleedBut you cannot hurt me if I hide the bulletsNow we've got a war... Let the artillery shakeThe very ground that I rely to walk on

I was wrong, but you were tooThis end result, isn't worth what you put me throughBelieve me I, put in the timeIt flew away

I was, your desperate source of hope and everything that you could never be.

Under The Gun

Written By: Jon Berg

I'm walking backwards to the topUp to the peak of where we lost it... Where we made our declarationI'm sending birds across the town, I'm flying kites above the ocean

To find your scent againI'll grip with everything that I haveThese memories that I want backI can't believe where we are now... So come on.

Where does the time go?I feel alone, and I know things aren't back to goodI was under the gun for you.And the worst part... We've been here many times before

I'm walking backwards to the topUp to the peak of where we began. Before this massive separationWhere does it always go astray? How do we cover all this distance?To meet in the middle again?

Falling Deeper

Written By: Jon Berg

What's this feeling that I have?It's like I've fallen asleep, and forgot how to breatheCome on kick up this beat of my heartBefore I die all alone, in this city

I'm afraid, we have lost, all that we knowAnd all that we care aboutWe have fallen deeper, now my shadow's my friend

Scorching and burning ever so slowlyWhat is this I've done to us right now?

I know what's wrong, but I won't speak a word

Conversation is running thinSo I'll sever my ties and say my goodbyesCome on give me one reason to stayBefore I die all alone in this city
